Books by Ron Martin

This book aims to understand the predicaments of `left behind places¿ and the scale of the policy challenge of `levelling up¿ their economic prosperity. The case is made for a new, mission-oriented policy model to achieve this, which is now a prominent refrain in the political lexicon.

An important synthesis of economic geography and industrial relations work, this book marks a major contribution towards the newly emerging field of labour geography.

Human geography is currently undergoing a rapid and far-reaching re-orientation, based on a redefined and much closer relationship with other social sciences.
